8/10/2021 PRH - Private Pilot Helicopter The following sample questions for Private Pilot-Helicopter (PRH) are suitable study material for the Private Pilot-Helicopter Rating. These questions are a representation of questions that can be found on all Private Pilot-Helicopter Rating tests. The applicant must realize that these questions are to be used as a study guide, and are not necessarily actual test questions. The full PRH test contains 60 questions. The Application Identification, Information Verification and Authorization Requirements Matrix lists all FAA exams. It is available at www.faa.gov/training_testing/testing/media/testing_matrix.pdf The FAA testing system is supported by a series of supplement publications. These publications include the graphics, legends, and maps that are needed to successfully respond to certain test questions. FAA-CT-8080-2H, Airman Knowledge Testing Supplement for Sport Pilot, Recreational Pilot, Remote Pilot, and Private Pilot is available at www.faa.gov/training_testing/testing/supplements/media/sport_rec_private_akts.pdf The Learning Statement Reference Guide for Airman Knowledge Testing contains listings of learning statements with their associated codes. Matching the learning statement codes with the codes listed on your Airman Knowledge Test Report assists in the evaluation of knowledge areas missed on your exam. It is available at www.faa.gov/training_testing/testing/media/LearningStatementReferenceGuide.pdf The online Private Pilot Helicopter (PRH) practice test is available on the PSI website at https://faa.psiexams.com/FAA/login NOTE: Some questions in the PSI Practice Test may contain the reference "Refer to FAA- CT-8080 . ."
